    Greetings linda9046,

     

    Thanks for using the Apple Support Communities!

     

    I understand that you are unable to send messages to your husband, but do not have any issues sending to other people. We know that situations like this can be frustrating, but we do have some specific troubleshooting steps I would like you to work through for this situation. 

     

    If messages won't send to a certain person or you need help with group messages

    Sometimes your messages won't send to a particular contact, or you might have issues with group messages. For example, you might reply to a group conversation and receive your own message. Or you might get a new phone number and see your old one listed as a recipient in an existing group conversation.

    Delete the conversation* that has the issue and start a new conversation: 

    1. Open Messages and look at your list of conversations.
    2. Swipe from right to left on the conversation you want to delete. Then tap Delete.
    3. Open Messages, tap  , and enter the phone number or email address of your contact or contacts. 
    4. Write a new message and tap send. 

    *When you delete a conversation, you won’t be able to recover it. If you want to save parts of conversations or their attachments, you can take screenshots. You can also touch and hold an attachment or message bubble, then tap More > Save. 

     

    If you can't send or receive messages on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support

     

    Have a great day!

    if you use the same appleID you can't if you have iMessage enabled

    stop using the same appleID and share app usage using family sharing
